Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)

I'm limited in what I can say because it'll be mostly spoiler, so I'll stick to basics: Section 9 members Batou and Togusa are assigned to investigate a series of  murders perpetrated by gynoids. The investigation opens doors to a great deal of spiralling philosophy and ruminations on the nature of humanity.
Animation and character movement are superb, with backgrounds even more detailed than before. The plot is at times mind-bending and at other times simple and understatedly heartfelt. It's not passive viewing, so you'll need to engage and question what you're given if you want to get the most from it.
